A Brief History
of the College

The idea of a school for
boys with the name "St.
George's College" was fos-
tered by Mr. John Bradley
and certain other Anglican
laymen who had associations
with the Toronto Diocesan
Choir School. The success of
the Diocesan Choir School,
which was a summer school
for choir boys, suggested the
desirability of a permanent
school. A committee was
therefore formed and plans
developed to establish a full-
time day school with a strong
emphasis on music. A pri-
vate Act incorporating St.
George's College was passed
on March 31, 1961 by the
Ontario Legislature. The
school admitted its first sev-
enty-two pupils in 1964. In
1989, Queen Elizabeth II
granted the College the right
to prefix the title "Royal" to
its name.

THE HEADMASTER

HEADMASTERS MESSAGE, PRIZE DAY 1994 (EXCERPTS)

From a somewhat stormy
beginning six years ago,
to yet another graduation!
My tenure as Headmaster
has been exciting, challeng-
ing and very rewarding.

While this is not a farewell
message, it is one filled with
memories which very few-
men are privileged to expe-
rience and cherish.

• A growing list of Alumni
who have become personal
friends, and who have al-
lowed me to shed the mantle
of Headmaster and become
a person.

• The delight of playing and
working with a wide range of
students who have constant-
ly brightened my days here
at RSGC.

• The exhilaration of watch-
ing students of all ages face
challenges and achieve.

• Prefects with whom I've
worked. To see their success
and growth as they've taken
on leadership roles around
the school is indeed a privi-
lege.

• The increase in House ac-
tivities and spirit, especially
in this last year.

• The real joy of working with
professionals who love their
"job." Those teachers who
every single day show con-
cern, care and understand-
ing for each one of their stu-
dents. The satisfaction of
knowing that so many of our
academic staff treat each
year as a new one — seeking
out up-dated and innovative
ways of making each and
every class more interesting,
exciting and challenging.
How great to have so many
leaders at RSGC who do not
fall into the trap of dusting
off lesson plans and teaching
the same way as they did last
year, and every vear before.

• The rewards of working
with those members of the
Board who provide me with
counsel, support and the faith
to do my job with freedom
and respect.

• The background support of
the administration and sec-
retarial staff.

• The excitement of meeting
so man) parents who ha\e a
strong belief in Royal St.
George's, and who give
countless hours in volunteer-
ing their talents and time.
Without their involvement,
this school could not contin-
ue to operate.

Of course every da\ is not
filled with smiles and re-
wards. Naturally there are
some 'down' times which
must be addressed by the
Headmaster and his staff.
Stress, disappointment, and
anger are also part of my re-
sponsibilities, which when
handled properly (we hope),
led to the mature growth of
a young man who learns from
his mistakes.

Stealing, involvement with
drugs and liquor, racism,
bulhing, physical and verbal
abuse, lack of manners and
courtesy in living with peers,
neighbours and strangers,
immature and chauvinistic
attitudes towards females,
homophobia, intolerance —
throughout the school year,
the Headmaster, staff and

student leaders are chal-
lenged to constantly address
these issues which do exist in
our real society. These are
matters of concern which are
part of the educational proc-
ess. We do not teach just
math, English, public speak-
ing, music and sports. Ever>
day we must teach through
example, discussions, disci-
pline and modeling, an hon-
est and realistic approach to
becoming a productive, hap-
py and 'whole' adult. So
while there are some diffi-
culties, and while we do not
have a constant state of Uto-
pia, there is tremendous
gratification in seeing a
young man become stronger.
b\ understanding how his
actions and negative behav-
iour can be changed and cor-
rected. With cooperation and
through working together
with understanding parents
and school leaders, I find
great delight in seeing posi-
tive change in our boys.

Such is the role of a Head-
master. The growth and suc-
cess experienced by each bo\
we meet, is such a great re-
ward. If I've had a small part
to play in such development,
then I thank God for the
wonderful opportunity ... a
unique opportunity ... of
being involved in this incred-
ibly wonderful world of ed-
ucation. I sincerely hope that
lime will be on m> side to
allow me to continue for a
little longer at Royal St.
George's.

THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR SCHOOL

'Mr. (/. ■W,/(-(;//

The 8:20 bell rang in the halls of the Sen-
ior School and the first classes of the
year commenced. "This is new. sir"" was the
observation proffered last September by a
few of the most observant Georgians! The
daily routine had been changed — we had
moved away from a horizontal organizational
striictinv (home forms) and entered into an
arrangement based on the House System. The
course had been charted for the year!

Why the change? Was it a '"real"" change or
simply ct)smetic? How committed were we
(the College) to the change?

RSGC continues to be committed to the
goals and objectives, as defined by our
Founders and Board. We are dedicated to
developing the 'complete individual." Wit-
ness to the mandate has been the emphasis
placed on the spiritual growth; the aca-

demic challenge; the self-esteem and con-
fidence development, and the participation
philosophy of the artistic and athletic ex-
tra-curricular programmes. We want to
raise our commitment to the total, life-long
learner.

The College has always had a strong core of
athletes, musicians, debaters, actors, writers
and artists who have taken advantage of the
inter- and intra-school opportunities provid-
ed. The new Point System and Steward ties
recognize these individuals and encourage
others to become more involved.

Forty-nine students (21%) earned 550 points,
requiring large commitment in at least two of
leadership, varsity participation, house
league participation or clubs. For their ef-
forts, they were awarded a White Chevron to

attach to the House Pin. The average number
of points earned per student was 465. There
was an encouraging increase in the number
of participants and extent of participation.
Now we set our objective to raising both
these measures more significantly in future
years.

The students who participate are the big win-
ners in the system for they have become more
connected to their education. A special thank
you to the House Prefects: Julian Thornbury,
Douglas Frawley, Nick Blanchette and Mark
Andersen as well as the staff: Mr. Cooper,
Mr. Orlando, Mr. D"Arcy, Mr. Ackley and
Mr. Love who believed in the change and
spent countless hours in the labour to get it
off the ground.

Murray Pengelly

THE PRINCIPAL OF THE JUNIOR SCHOOL

There has been a great deal of dis-
cussion lately about the impor-
tance of self-esteem in the education of
young people 1 siimelimes feel that some
of the modem definitions of this positive
sell-regard is counter-productive to real
progress in academic pursuits and in
preparation for future cmplovriienl

It has been said that without self-esteem,
our students cannot achieve at all in
school. However, simple observation
around us shows that many people with
low esteem do quite well in education.
.•Mired Adicr thought that it was the in-
dividual's sense of inferiority that drove
behaviour. If he is right, then a majority
of people, including those who do well,
have low self-esteem.

Further, for those who do not do well in
their studies, it is difficult to praise
achievements in this area. We can praise
manners, kindness, and empathy with
their peers, and we do: but what bo\s in
this situation most want to hear about is
their scholastic work. Only by working
on improving their academic skills, can
we produce praise-worthy accomplish-
ments.

In spite of this, 1 do believe in the impoilancc of sironi:
self-esteem. The problem seems only that we need to
look again at what our goals are in shaping it. One ot
the best ideas I have heard is based on work by Dr.
Gordon Ncufcid, a Vancouver psychologist. He suggests
that a positive view of oneself can be summed tip m three
wiirds beginning with ".S";

• Scparatcnes.s: The child is allowed to view himself
or herself as an individual separate from parents and
family; an autonomous, functioning being.

• Security: Love is unconditional of behaviour or
achievements (this does not mean thai one cannot
demand expectations on behaviour and achieve-
menisi

• Slrength: The ability lo withstand psychological
distress, rejection, disappointment, and loss. This is
the exact opposite from contemporary view s that one
promotes a child's self-esieem by protecting him/her
from frustration, failure, upset, and negative feed-

our past parents used lo say thai he
hoped his sons had a lol ofexpenence
with "unfairness' in school sti ihai
thc> learned to deal with it. Thc> will
face a great deal of ii in the future and
ihcy had hciier be prepared As teach-
ers, we conslantiv sinve to be per-
fectly fair at all times and never lo
lose our tempers, as I am sure our par-
ents do, liH) Perhaps it is jusl as well
that we don't always succi-ed. When
our students face Ihcir first unfair
boss; when ihey face the first hug
who says 'I am in front of you', how
will they react?

The core of what we should be leach-
ing is resilienc\ How can we en-
courage the growth of personalities
that are resilient in the face of the
'slings and arrows' of normal life;
that can deal with belittling and crit-
ical peers; that have sufficient 'ego-
strength' to bounce back from mis-
fortunes; and that can lake the c-on-
stanl cnlicism w hich is sti much a pan
of many jobs (especially teaching i ' It
is only resilient personalities that
have true self-worth; self-esteem that
is based on everyone always being
nice to vmi is shallow and stKW dis-

back Another word for this is "resiliency."

Dr. Neufeld distinguishes between "acquired self-es-
teem" (praise regardless of effort and product! and "nat-
ural self-esteem" (the three words above I. The former
is based on external evaluations and works against the
latter. How secure are you if you depend on what others
think'? The former is based on how pretty you are, how
smart, how popular, how gixxi in baseball, how well you
do in school The latter is [he true strength that we need
to develop in each individual.

"Tfiiihfr^ can crush a vnitiii: hoy with ii stent Uuik. a
critical ciiinment. Just one wonl at the wroiii; time can
be remeinheretl for life. " (From a recent speech lo ed-
ucators, )

If this is true, we have failed as teachers and parents
Are we shaping children who will give up the fight at
the first experience of unfairness and criticism ' One ol

appears.

" ... to overcome low self-esteem, teachers must he fair,
warm, patient, humorous, smiling, jusl. and encourag-
me. ' (Same speech.)

And onl\ the .Archangel Gabriel need apply ' Teachers,
and parents, are human beings of value, tix> The> ha\e
days of stress, depression, fatigue, and these will aflcct
the way that they deal w ith childncn .And thank gixxlness
they do' How else will the child come to learn to deal
w ith the various nuKxIs and idiosv ncrasies ol all the pe»>-
pie with whom he/she will come in contact ' If wc lealU
did succeed m being these paragons, we wiHild he doing
a real disscrxicc to our pupils.

As I look back on my year as President
of the Guild, I look back with fond
memories. Memories of wonderful and
strong people on the Guild executive and
in its membership. People who were always
willing to lend a helping hand and to keep
smiling at the same time. Mr. Latimer was
always there with lots and lots of enthu-
siasm, encouragement and wisdom. Mem-
ories of the staff who always gave that little
bit extra. The students, our boys, who make
us all so proud of the fine way that they
are all growing up. The memories are very
special to have.

I would like to share with you some of
those memories as I outline the activities
and accomplishments of the Guild over the
past year.

* School tours for prospective students
and their parents were ongoing throughout
the year. The tour guides are superb am-
bassadors for R.S.G.C. and 1 know leave
these families with such a good feeling
about Royal St. George's.

* Junior and Senior school grade con-
venors organized telephone campaigns as
needed throughout the year.

* The used textbook sale, a first for us.

and a major financial winner brings back
memories of: — How do we organize this?
Where do we put all of these books? And
more books! And even more books!

* The blazer exchange — memories of
smiling Guild members who organize it out
of a little room somewhere in the senior
school.

* The New Parents Reception — mem-
ories of the eager faces of the parents of
new boys, wanting to know as much as they
can about their son's new school.

* The New Mother's Dinner, again the
eager faces — with that night a keen in-
terest in the score of the World Series!

* The Sports Swap, a last minute new
project, so quickly and so ably organized
with nowhere to go but up.

* The unsung heroes of our social com-
mittee, quietly organizing or helping with
many events — Confirmation Reception,
Citizenship Court Reception, Volunteer
Recognition Day, Junior and Senior School
Graduations and Prize Days, and the Staff
Luncheon (the H.M. and his supersoaker!).

* The Library Committee, assisted in the
library and also helped organize the book
fair in the fall.

* The Poinsettia Sale, a successful fun-
draiser brings back memories of Ketchum
Hall full of the reds, pinks and whites of
the many, many pots of poinsettias.

* Another memory that comes to mind
is of Guild executive members also serving
on the "Napoleon" fundraiser committee.
Oh what a night that was!

* School jackets being developed. What
colour? What lettering? What sizes? What
prices? Everyone had an opinion — usually
different.

* The Annual General Meeting of the
Guild brings back the memories of the cul-
mination of a school year and of Mr.
McMaster standing to display his finery!

Through many of these activities the
Guild raised money to make donations to-
wards — computer software for the library
and the junior school computer room, bur-
saries, prize day awards for both schools,
a new portable sound system for Ketchum
Hall, the capital campaign fund, new bike
racks and more.

The memories of the past year have been
very rich and rewarding.

THE LEAVING CLASS

The following section is dedicated lo the leaving clatt
of Royal Si George's College of 1994 This page
includes the prefects and lifers who were a part of this
year's graduates The picture on the far left is of the
prefects. In the front row are (from left to right) Nicholas
Blanchctte. Matthew Aaronson. Alen Evis. and Alex
Smith. Located in the middle row (left to right) are Frascr
Macfarlane. Philip Pace, and Cameron Rose. Finally, the
b.ick row includes (left to right) Julian Thornbury. Doug-
las Frawlcy. Kevin Lint. Mark .■Xndersen. and Gordon
Maccy. This year's head prefect was Kevin Lint who
writes about this year's prefects as follows;

As prefects, very little stood in our way since we
stood in the way of very few When grade nines started
lounging on our couches watching reruns of the Partridge
Family, wc finally had to lay down the law But enough
said, we enjoyed ourselves thcroughly. Who could forget
the bottle of cranberry juice sitting on the fridge for five
months — not even Dale dared lo touch it.

,MI of the hard work paid off the dances, semis and
lipsync were truly successful, while everything ran
smoothly with sports, debating and the junior school. The
house system underwent some major changes with several
improvements. There is no doubt that house spirit has
soared this year, with the enormous support of the staff
and students of RSGC.

I'm sure that Aaron and his crew will do a fantastic
job next year and I wish them the best of luck, although
I don't know if they'll be able lo handle next year's crop
of grade nines.

I'd like to thank all the guys in the accompanying photo
for putting everything into making this year as enjoyable
as it was.

— Kevin Lint

To the bottom left are the three lifers of the graduating
class of 1994 The lifers arc those students who have been
at Royal St. George's College ever since Grade Four all
the way to Grade Thirteen This year's lifers are (from
left to right) Gordon Macey. Fei?el Satchu. and Robert
Kcnedi

"Nine years?" they say. "How could you spend nine years at one school? Wouldn't you get
bored?"

I tell them. "If your school did for you what RSGC has done for me. then you. like me. v^ould
gladly spend another nine."

This is a slight e.xaggeration only because university is the next logical step in my education,
but I can honestly say that I have no regrets about my decision to spend so much of my time at
RSGC. RSGC is a school that cares for each student; every faculty member that has devoted their
time to me. be it for academic or non-academic reasons, has my deepest gratitude. RSGC is a
school with good values and people; I know that I can count on all of the friends that I made
there.

Why don't I mention academics ' Because what RSGC has done for me in the way of personal
development is more important than anything else. None of the time that 1 spent at RSGC was a
waste: I could not have garnered a better education from anywhere else. Thanks to my family,
for supporting me. Thanks to my friends, for being there. Thanks to my teachers for caring. Thanks
to Royal St. George's College.

Mathew Aaronson

My stay at RSGC was two years and very e\entful. I would like to thank
all the teachers for preparing me so well for university, especially Doc's
nuclear atomic labs, and Big Red's third year calculus course! A special
thanks to Mr. Rankin for letting me attend my world issues classes at the
Pati-man. I have many fond memories, which include the infamous milk
incident in the chemistry lab (see Shannon's notes), the senior basketball
trip to Montreal, cutting up unlucky in the library . and all the extra activities
which add a great deal to this school. I'll remember checking out Milliken
and Woodlands C.I. with Marcus I inside joke). New York toilet paper fights
on the 1 Sth floor.

Above all I'd like to thank my family for their patience and support.
Later to the originator of Deep Cover. Pet Shop Boyz (punks), and Potato
men. Yeah, thanks for the complimentary Mitsubishi TV/VCR's.

Mairaj .Ahmed

Thanks to all my friends and fellow oppressed individuals who've made the past five years
more interesting and bearable. .Also thanks to m\ family for their support.

.Always remember: Countless hours spent in the Gr. 13 rm pummelling each other and
insulting: school/teachers, prefects and ourselves. Recognition and Dealing with Dragons. Bio
class: Sit down Short Long! Passive aggressiveness in W.C. with "it's just my take . . . man"
Timm and Mr. Chil-lee and D4I. Finite Goddess Sherilyn F. (the only thing that kept me up
in class). Day 5 trips to JJ's with C.P. arguments with King Freak about whose life is worse.
Absolut Roulette with E.C. Reliable Renaults (better than untrustworthy Jettasl. Raising the
evil spawn of creativity in the art room with CSG. N.S. and in my basement Zarb! Egg wants
to kill you. Jer! Are you boys eighteen? Boo/er's bag-pipes on my front porch. What else can
I say? Plenty actually, but there's no room.

Special thanks to: H.R. Giger. Mr. Bungle and Vlad Drac.

The education I received at RSGC brings
the words of Lord Byron to mind:
"He learned the arts of riding, fencing,
gunnery.

And how to scale a fortress — or a
nunnery."

Thanks to Mr. O, GABL, Big Red. The
Good Doc, JK (both), Mr. H, Mr. P. JRL
and anyone else who helped explain the
seemingly inexplicable.

Best of luck and success to the following:
Messrs. Aaronson and Smith. Doogie.

Spark, Phil. The Nicks. Gord. Brian. Kev.
Julio. Fra/ and anyone who ever made me
smile, explained O.AC chemistry, offered
support during one of my frequent anxiety
attacks or helped me to overcome any of
my numerous shortcomings. I love you all.

A special thanks to Mom. otherwise
known as Monique. without whom I would
be lost. Although I didn't always show it. I
appreciate your sacrifice, and will make
you proud of me. with or without the big
expensive universities.

Thank you Sparky for the birthdays, the House and always being there. Julian — that
guy's crazy! We gotta talk! Love poem R.I. P. Thank you Fraz and Gord for always being
able to sense the bull — I don't think you realize how many times you saved me from
stepping in it. Alex is a rough boy (He's also very cuddly). And without Phil I'd still be
in the South of France ordering omelette du fromages. Alex Evis — I bet he quotes froin
Conrad Black or Barfly or something. Thank you Mr. Holdsworth. Mr. Orlando, and Mr.
Timm for the unusual classes and allowing us to swear in them. Geo classes . . . what Geo

It is hard to believe that several years ago 1 was one of forty new boys
in grade seven at RSGC 1 now kxik back and wonder where all the years
have gone. Was it not just months ago that I was stuck in a clog up. or
telling "Pizza Party"?" All the great times that I've had are now pleasant
memories, never to be forgotten. Who could ever forget Niiolo's?

It's impossible to make it through high school alone, and I'd like to thank
those who made m\ life so much more enjoyable and manageable. First ol
all. Mom. Dad. and Jamie, who not only inspired me to do my best, bui
also helped me achieve my numerous goals To my closest friends: Melissa.
Mark. Cam. Hues. Gord. Brian. Julian. Eraser. Malt. Nick. .Alex. Alev. Phil
and Doug Holly burn — what great summers! Finally, thanks to all the stall
and students of RSGC who made education an enjoyable experience It's
strange to think that my days at St. George's are over and I must move on

Thanks for everything.

Many a thing has happened in my five years at Royal St. George's, for instance.
I gained the right to buy pornography. YEAH! Outside my access to adult literature,
my years at SGC have been filled with strange situations and stranger people (of
which I feel 1 must include myself). To all those that I corrupted in any way. trust

Nine years is a very long time to stay at one place, but St. George's was a truly great place to spend it. Thank you RSGC.

1 would also like to thank all of my friends — you know who you are (Gord. Smith. Eraser, etc . . . ). If you don't know, ask
me.

Thank you to all my teachers who have made learning a pleasurable experience. And finally, thanks to my Mum. Dad and

Five years and fifty thousand dollars ago, 1 entered Royal St. George's College for the
first time. During that time I was educated by the best of the best. I would like to thank
Mr. Oriando. Mr. D'Arcy. Mr. Holdsworth. Mr. Van Herk, and Mr. Paulin for all the
opportunities it presented — be it the Worid Affairs Conference, the trips across the
country, or the debating activities the school hosted. To my graduating class, I wish them
the best of luck in their future endeavours. To Aaron, Simon, Craig and Jeremy — 1 hope
you get everything you want in your journey ahead! To all of you who are left behind, I
offer this quote from Otlo Van Bismarck: "To youth 1 have but three words of counsel
— work, work, work." And finally. I would like to end my career at Royal St. George's
with a quote from Albert Einstein: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the
mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."

It has been a cool three years. 1 would like to take this opportunity to apologize for a few of my crimes and misdemeanours,
including: throwing chocolate pudding at Nordin in English class; New York, including the hallway and room that got trashed;
the mess at the Weston Harbour Castle; James Berry's car; shooting the tire extinguisher in the artroom; Bolton, including the
Bible burning, cow lipping at Piller's cottage; some wench from Laurence whose table got deliled: detlhng a bowl full of pot-
pourri after a Havergal dance; burning a haystack at St. Clement's; the stuff that happened at Carr's house (which he does not
know happened); the nin-in with the pigs after Pat's birthday; the incident at a wedding last summer; and for all the projectiles
I ever threw, including a picnic table into a pool, various furniture into another pool, that stuff off the 25th floor of a hotel, all
the food in Ketchum Hall, the assorted sub and ravioli at a Branksome Semi, and the smoked salmon, yogurt, jello, millions
of eggs and one big boulder at a certain girl's Rosedale residence. I hope everyone realizes that it was all in good fun. Thanks

SES

YORK BEST OVERALL

House Captain Mark 'Sparky' Andersen, York
House, accepts the J.L. Wright House Trophy on
behalf of his house, which won most points in 1994-
95 (left).

This year the house system was fostered in Senior
School to a greater degree than had been the case.
Every activity was organized by house and points
were awarded for all activities. There were several
visible ways of promoting house spirit. First, lockers
were assigned by house. Secondly, each student wore
a house shield pin on his blazer or shirt. Thirdly,
house members sat together in Chapel rather than
by grades, as had been done before. The purpose of
these changes was to create an environment in which
each boy would strive to achieve his personal best.

Opposite top. the house captains: Douglas Frawley
(Winchester), Nick Blanchette (Westminster), Julian
Thornbury (Canterbury) and Mark Andersen
(York).

Other pictures show a ball hockey game in the
House League, where York are facing off against
Canterbury.

Sheep dogs, sheep dogs,

and a mutt:

Canterbury's going to kick

some bull!"

Canterbury didn"l quite
live up to the standard that
\\as set by our cheer, but
we did manage to give
^'ork and West a great run
lor their money. It was a
great year for Canterbury.
Granted we placed third
overall, but we were able to
win some floor hockey
events, baseball at lunch,
house drama: and we really
cleaned up in Ketchum
Hall!

Canterbury's house spirit
reached a high that i had
never seen since 1989 and
it was great to see such
enthusiasm, excitement and
effort.

Now. the following are
the three most often-used
expressions by the members
of Canterbury when asked
to do Ketchum clean-up:

• "Hey. look over there"
(Then they'd run away)

• "What, me? What do we
pay the custodians for,
then?"

• "\\ hat are >ou talking
.iboui'.' 1 just did clean-up
two months ago!"

All in all. Canterbury did
have a great year,
especially in gaining back
that house spirit that was
NO important to all of the
members of our house (and
10 the members of the
I'lhcr houses ,is well)

Thank you, guys; you made
my fmal year here at the
school a great one and a

memorable one as well.

.And. by the way. Sparky

WESTMINSTER

I GUESS IT WAS just
not meant to be. But,
second place ain't bad. In

fact, it is pretty darned
impressive. In past years,
second would not have
been good enough.
However, this year we had
to earn every point that
gave us that second place
finish.

We knew, coming into this
year, that West had all the
qualities of a great athletic
house, but that that might
not be enough. We were
going to have to refine our
talents in areas such as
debating and drama. Also,
personal house points were
going to determine the
eventual champion. So,
now might be a good time
to congratulate all

members of York house.
You did it: you beat us.
But, don't get too cozy up
there on top.

The best thing to come out
of this year is the level of
spirit within West.
Everyone has contributed,
and our white shirt has
been worn with pride. We
have formed an excellent
rivalry with York. We
invariably met in the finals
of lunch time competitions.
We faced off in both junior
and senior basketball finals
and in the senior hockey
final. All I have to say is.
Move over "Hockey Night
in Canada" — and N.B.A.
— this week there is a new
rivalry in town.

My time as Westminster
house prefect is up, but I
know that Dave will do an
excellent job this year
(Bring on the fork!).
Special thanks to Mr.
Cooper for his spirit and
support. Thanks to all the
members of Westminster
for electing me and then
for all your enthusiasm.
Best of luck next year and
in years to come.
Remember, regardless, we
are the BEST!
Nick Blanchette

(To Julian, Sparky, and
Doug: thanks for all your
time and effort in making
this system work. And to
summarize, I can attribute
some of our successes to
the colour purple and

With a savage, animal-like
scream of blood-lusting
vengeance, tribal competition of the
natives began The warring tribes
depended on the victory of matches,
comparable to present-day lacrosse,
(hat ensued relentlessly for days on
end to solidify their tribal domi-
nance. These men endured constant
pain and suffering simply to carry
.1 rabbit's skull through the forest to
the other side. No rules bindcd these
warriors, nor were they encouraged
by big wage salaries and television
contracts Some may question wh\
with no reward of personal glory
would these men of men compete '
1 offer a simple reason. They fought,
without hesitation, for the glory of
the tribe. They fought for pride, for
integrity, and for honour. Victory
for the tribe was rew;'rd enough.

The unselfish and unending par-
ticipation this year has brought a
tear to this chiefs eye Memories of
Paul Henderson in '72 filled my
thoughts with our victory in Lunch
Ball Hockey, as the game winner
slid slowly by the sprawled Tretiak
Lunch Baseball stirred up emotions
only comparable to Winfield in '^2
or Joe in '93. I conjure up images
of Elliot Ness and the "L'nloucha-
bles" when I am reminded of our
Debating squad and their imper-
meable shell of logic and persua-
sion Think of our young debaters
facing their first ever opening state-
ment, feeling just as the young Ca-
nadian families felt as they ga/ed
out upt.>n the new homeland frontier
of the Prairies in 1901 .'Nets of cour-
age, like young tribesmen slaying to
help with Ketchum clean-up, draw
heroic parallels to Bobby Baun's
broken leg Game 7 overtime goal
lor the Leafs in "54. Let us not for-
get that with the thrill of victory
comes the agony of defeat. This bit-
ter pill was swallowed with our dou-
ble-overtime loss to Westminster,
but the determination and heart
these young men displayed was re-
markable
Through it all. York's victory this

year was due solely to their instinc-
tive Canadian character: pride,
courage, and honour. It was because

of young men like this that Canada
(a voluntary ally in WWII) endured
the darkest hour of Dieppe and
stormed the blood-stained beaches
of Juno. It is why our football is
played in sub-zero weather and only
has three downs. It is why we won
the 1972 Summit Scries and the past
two World Scries. Pride, courage,
and honour. These words arc as Ca-
nadian as beaver pells and Don
Cherry So when you think of get-
ting involved with the House activ-
ities, try to find that Canadian, war-
like savage deep inside your heart
Face every challenge like a Cana-
dian: taking it like a man. standing
toe to toe with anyone. York's dom-
inance in 1994 of House league and
debating was just a small example
of what the Canadian spirit can
overcome.

I had a dream and I saw . . .

McCormick became a psychotic army officer (courl-

martialled twice; nothing proven). Nagel went "bon-
kers" in 1995 when Mr Hutch cracked
his "I wear depends . . ." joke once too
often; he's now in a home. Boland be-
came producer of, and actor on, "The
All-new Saturday Night Live". Matt
plays a hilarious character called "Mr
Coordination". Abraham coughed his
well-known, ghastly cough once too of-
ten in the presence of Mr McElroy, and
was promptly "whipped to death with
a wet noodle". Anstey? — Someone

sneezed too close to him and sent him flying into a

brick wall. He broke 137 bones.

Oh became a dancer, now renowned for bringing back
Disco. Gulyas became an American Gladiator and-
named himself "Rhino". Pyper became a famous en-
vironmentalist and musician. Langins became Toron-
to's most famous street person. People actually ask
him for his autographed picture. Naturally, he charg-
es twenty bucks. Donald and Adams started the "Bring
back 'Star Trek TNG" organisation that now has thir-
ty million members worldwide.

Wong became Terry Oh"s sleazy manager. Riieler be-
came a pro at welfare fraud. Barringlon popularized
"Ultimate Frisbee". Bruce became a famous chef now-
working in France, famous for his dish. "Boeuf a la
Bruce". Ho'' — Much to the chagrin of his parents,
Hayden did not become a mathematician, but a Chip-
pendale dancer instead. Hui has worked as a paper-
weight.

Jones moved to Mexico City and was never seen again.
Sharma became a noted sports broadcaster. Bramer
eventually got the Government to lower the legal
drinking age to 9 and to legalize other undesirable
practices. Walker did well for himself, becoming a
famous diplomat. Fountain miraculously made the
Notre Dame football team as a field goal kicker. He
was eventually dropped when, in the first game, he
failed to make contact with the ball on Notre Dame's
first field goal attempt.

Phillips became a noted Supreme Court justice, cel-
ebrated publicly for having sentenced Michael Chen
to death. Chen was "got' for jay-walking and sen-
tenced to death by electric chair, by . . .

In the future. I, Justin Leung will have millions of
dollars. 1 will have servants all over the world earning
money for me. To begin, I must decide which job
interests each of my servants has, or else they may
go on strike. I have already decided what a few of my
servants will be.

Chris Kelly will be a story writer. I find
that he tells really good stories which
he makes up himself. Andrew Epstein
and Arden Church will become come-
dians. They will both be as famous as
Jerry Seinfeld, I hope! Colin Love? Well,
I made him a baskeball player. I find
that he loves basketball. Gerard Ram-
roopsingh is very talented at the French
horn. I will make him a musician play-
ing in night clubs. Cameron Fiske will
become a baseball player. He enjoys it
very much. I made him a baseball player so that he
will not hire a man to kill me. Malcolm Robinson is
very unusual. I will make him an astronaut since he
likes aliens so much. Chris Taylor will also become a
basketball player. He is always playing basketball with
Colin. Jeffrey Todd and Darcy Morris are both very
good at sports. They are both on the Under 13 soccer
team, so, I will make them both soccer players. James
Snider is a nice man. I will make him my personal
servant. He shall be my personal leg-rest. Adam Koe-
bel is a great athlete. Although he is good at sports,
I will make him an artist because he gets straight A's
in art class. Michael Clark and Liam Somerville will
both become knapsack makers. They are very neat
and tidy people (Mr Reid: "Not!"') and knapsacks are
used in packing and organising. Andrew Haust and
Drew Czernik will become movie critics. I find that
they are very good friends and will cooperate nicely
with each other. John Maggiacomo is always asking
me if I have finished one of my N intendo games; since
he likes video games so much, I have decided to let
him work with the Japanese on making video games.
I cannot think of an ideal job for David McNaughton,
until I remember that at his house he has so many
video games. So, I will make him a publisher of a
video game magazine called "Nintendo Power". What
a treat! Then there is Robbie Barrass. He will also
become a story-writer. At lunch break he always has
his nose in a book. I believe he will become a successful
writer — after he receives my personal training. He
will probably have many interesting ideas from all the
books he has read. As for myself. Til just sit back,
relax and enjoy my millions of dollars.

My name is Christopher Roscoe. I'm a "New Boy",
as I found out at my first day at RSGC. It was
Wednesday, September 8th 1993 and . . .

Headmaster, Form masters. Choir master, prefects.
Old Boys, a Blue Room, a Guild Room, a Mud Room,
a See House, the tarmac, a half-Wind-

(four-in-hand), blue cards, lunch cards,
locker combinations. Domestic Surviv-
al, six-day cycle, vespers, evensong, cas-
socks, "Yes, Sir, No, Sir", The Prin-
cipal is a doctor! — What does it all
, mean?!

R ^^^B Thank Goodness 1 was not alone. There
^ ^^^1 were six other "New Boys" who were
just as confused as I. Dr Barlow, the
Principal, held an assembly and introduced us to our
form master, Mr Lee. Mr Lee gave us a short tour
and told us our classroom was K9. Oh, great, the
"pound"! Was I to spend the year with a bunch of
flea-bitten strays and runaways?

When the senior boys were showing us how to tie our
ties, we wondered why they hung them from trees
before we put them on. Well, perhaps that is a slight
exaggeration!

The good news is, thanks to help from the senior boys
and Mr Lee. I found out what all those RSGC codes
and all that secret "lingo" stands for. and before
Christmas!

I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't know what Mr
McMaster's office looks like from the inside, and I
hope I never do!

day, that lunch is served in Ketchum Hall. He must

Grade 3/4 is prelly exciting and fun — if
you know what is coming up! My class's
teacher is Mr McElrov!

At first, 1 was scared of everything, but
now I am not. My first day. I
had two hot dogs, a pop and a
doughnut. I met prefects and
found out what house I am in
Kevin Lint, Head Prefect, told
me 1 was in Canterbury, but
that my friend Christiaan was
in Winchester. This seemed
weird, because these places are
cities and sites of great church-
es!

The next day 1 was ver> scard because I
though we would gel a lot of homework. I
thought right!

But now I've made friends and we gel on
well together, and I like them, and I like
the school. So, never be afraid or scared;
"Just do it!"

This year. »c debated wedebaled
good. As a mailer of fact, we debated
belter than ever. And more than ever.
From Nova Scolia to far, far out west
(Oakvillc, actually) the Royal St.
George's College Speaking Union
spread the gospel according to Matthew
( Aaronson) and Alex (Smith), Head and
Vice-Head of the Union, respectively.

In terms of our record on the road,
RSGC performed admirably, and add-
ed an element of levity, at all foreign
events: the St. Clemenls's Impromptu
(where our shorthanded team was not
even asked to prove our utter domi-
nance), the TFS I'ulford. the Interna-
tional Championships at King's — Ed-
gehill in Nova Scotia, the second term
Fulford, the third term Fulford at Up-
per Canada College (which we left
A.SAP. due to the inhospitable nature
of UCC*), and the Southern Ontario
Model United Nations (SOM.A). where
we served the interests of Her Majesty
as representatives of the United King-
dom to the highest degree (we think
that it was our overwhelming patriot-
ism, if not the partisan UTS chairper-
son, that was responsible for our not
receiving the Best Delegation award).

Inside the confines of our bunker-like
alma mater, RSGC debating was even
stronger, where the new system of house
debating lay the foundation for the ne.xt
generation of debating juggernauts.
Good luck next year. Edward.

Many thanks to Mrs. Miller, for her
hours of arduous service, and to all staff,
students and parents who helped out
during the year. We hosted an enor-
mous debating tournament, the RSGC
Annual Challenge Saucer, and we would

not have been able lo cope without the
invaluable efforts of over eighty vol-
unteers.

maimed after our billet father failed to

tunately, serious damage was avoided
when Alex managed to sidetrack him
prior to a violent outburst following a
trip to Halifax (this was accomplished
by way of a discussion of Nova Scotia
Liberal Party policy over the last half
century).

Apart from the "homc-away-from-
home front" RSGC, as usual, excelled.
Besides wowing ihe team from Stony
Lake with our impeccable style, and
managing lo make the team from Hal-
ifax Grammar school cry after a cross-
exammation, wc were exposed to some
of the best youth debating that the
western hemisphere has to offer. We
also learned not to even consider beat-
ing any team from the United Kingdom
in a competition, or any team with the
word "Latin" or "Roxbury" in their
name

Our final lesson came when wc got
off of the plane at Lester B Pearson

periences, in retrospect, at least, are a
good thing, an altitude which is quite
remarkable, as everything we have spo-

Thank you Mrs Miller and RSGC
for making the trip possible, it was the
best trip these three debaters have ever
been on.

CLUBS

CAMERA CLUB

As many of you know, the camera club is respon-
sible for covering any athletic event, social event, spe-
cial event, and eventful events which the school is
involved in, and would eventually like to put in the
yearbook. What many of you likely don't know is that,
in order to accommodate a light budget, and afford
C.D.'s for the photo contest winners, we do it all with
just one long roll of film. What many of you also may
not realize is that this roll of film went missing about
two weeks before June exams, and we nearly lost pho-
tos of almost thirty school teams, classes, house com-
petitons. Final Curtain, trip week, the first term plays,
staff candids, student candids, Oliver the See House
cat candids, park ruffian mug-shots, a dozen school

clubs, endless Jr. and Sr. school bands and choirs, and
much, much more. We searched everywhere for our
1993-'94 film (including the darkroom, where we found
three camera club members skipping chapel, two for-
mer Headmasters, and Jimmy Hoffa) but to no avail.
It was at this point that we started to panic, and
decided that desperate measures were required; we
knocked on the staff room door, (you see, Mr. Siewert,
it was an emergency). As it turned out, Mr. Timm
had the film in his cubby hole, but hadn't seen it

One of our sources reports that the
string players feel a little left out of
things, as compared with the
College's "beloved bands".

They appeared not to have had
sufficient practices, and not to have
had sufficient exposure in 1994. The
addition of .some wind instruments
helped the strings gain some
prominence. While the admixture of
band players was not entirely
welcome at first, it was accepted in
the realisation, "that if we were to
survive another year and still have
interested members, we would have to
grow, no more string players being
available".

One bright spot appears to have been
that. "We did play for the Junior
School Assembly, one Monday in the
Third Term, and with a little luck

The 'A' Band toured Ottawa and Montreal in April. In Montreal, we per-
formed at Lower Canada College and The Study, and saw an Expos game
at Olympic Stadium. We also had a walking tour of Old Montreal, and a visit to
the Biodome. In Ottawa, we played at Ashbury College and Elmwood School,
had a walking tour of Parliament Hill, and toured the Embassy Row area of the
cily. On our final day, we played at Trafalgar Castle School in Whitby. We ate
very well throughout the tour, and were also given lunch at LCC, Ashbury and
Trafalgar Castle. In Kingston, we visited Celebrity Sports, and the boys played
video games, bowled and roller bladed.

Our students played very well at all five of our concerts and were most enthu-
siastically received by students and teachers in the various schools we visited. The
most screaming by adulatory fans: Elmwood School in Ottawa.

Plot Summary

It has been said that there were never
two people so attached as Tim Harris and
Steven Knox. Growing up together as
neighbours, the boys had a special bond;
they enjoyed the same interests, had the
same friends and attended the same school.
People often mistook them for brothers, as
their mannerisms had grown so similar.
They were like each other's conjugate pair;
Tim and Steven fit together like a hand
and glove.

It was the first weekend in the summer
of 1988 when Steven and Tim went north
to Tim's cottage. They wanted to act reck-
less this weekend; school was out and par-
tying was on the agenda. Tim's parents
stayed in the city, so the two had some
friends over and started drinking. From the
cottage, the group decided to go to a road-
side bar 20 minutes away and play some
pool. Tim had been drinking heavily, so
Steven thought it best that he should drive.
The boys had planned to sleep at Brian
Desmond's cottage, a fair walking distance
from the bar, and pick up the car the next
morning.

Once at the bar, Steven and Tim became
immature. They drank excessively and ig-
nored their friends when they left for Brian's.
When Steven got up to play pool, Tim went
to the washroom and smoked a joint with
a few guys. Later, after compounding the
booze with drugs, Tim threw up while sit-
ting at a table. The bouncers grabbed them
and threw them out and Steven found him-
self standing in the pouring rain with his
unconscious best friend at 1:30 A.M.

Steven didn't know Brian's phone num-
ber or directions to his cottage. Tim had
fallen asleep, covered in his own vomit, on
the sidewalk. The bouncers wouldn't let
Steven back in to even make a call and

Tim's car had no phone. Steven was drunk,
abandoned, and scared. In a moment of
despair and weariness, he decided to lift
Tim into the car and drive back to the cot-
tage.

The police report stated the car was trav-
elling approximately 110-120 kilometres
an hour when it veered into the gravel ditch,
flipped several times, and came to rest on
the rocks 10 metres below. The car itself
was mangled; a collapsed roof, severe im-
pact on the front and rear passenger side
doors, shattered front and back wind-
shields, and an engine fire. Tim died in-
stantly; his skull was literally crushed.
Steven was rushed to Sunnybrook hospital
by helicopter. He suffered massive head and
spinal injuries and slipped into a coma last-
ing four and a half months. He awoke yes-
terday.

tient Steven Knox has been in stable con-
dition since June 18, 1988. The chorus is
made up of the several nurses on duty.)

Chorus: Patient No. 47102 remains in

some significant change. His

strong, and he has show n move-
ment in his left hand. He's

remains unable to form a sim-
ple grunt. The extent of his head
injuries hasn't been determined
yet, but a neurologist is being
flown in from Minnesota to-
morrow. We haven't told him
where he is, or why. It's best
he not know just yet. He is still
in shock. How will be handle
this news? Responsible for his
best friend's death. Drinking
and driving. Life in a wheel-
chair. Will they charge him
with murder? Can they? Hasn't
he suffered enough? Just think
of having to face the dead boy's
parents. What do you say to a
grieving mother whose son was
killed because of your careless-
ness? Is there anything that
could be said? What a cross this
poor boy has to bear. The ul-
timate lesson has been taught.
What kind of life can this boy
lead from now on? Maybe he
was better off in the coma.
Maybe he was better off . . .
dead Wait. He is stirrinc. It

looks like he is awake now. He
looks so lost. So scared. A crip-
pled body of a boy with an un-
known guilt upon his shoulders.
I no longer know who I feel sor-
ry for. The dead, the grieving,
or the guilty. He is asleep again.
What does he dream of"! What
does he remember? What does
he see when he closes his eyes?

Chorus: Riders on the storm

What am I doing? I'm driving

Tired and drunk. I just have to

Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a

Steven: Where the hell did those guys

and said good-bye. They knew
we were staying there. Tim is
in bad shape. The car smells
terrible.

THE THIEF OF
TIME

AARON THOMPSON

Grade 1 3

Life is a terminal illness, and it
is only a matter o\^ time before
everyone and everything come to
an end. Given how precious time
is, it is amazing how much of it is
wasted by people every day. Take,
for example, the length of time
spent postponing the
commencement of work on this
essay. There were the snacks to
prepare, the tea to brew, the
telephone to answer. Once seated
at the computer, my attention was
captured not by the literary task
at hand, but by the buzzing of a
fly. A quarter of an hour later,
after stalking the beast, finding
the Raid, and relocating the
victim, his time had come, the
whole scenario brought to mind
the observation that
"Procrastination is the thief of
time."

Because procrastination is so
widespread, people who take
action and get on with the job are
all the more impressive. Fatigue is
often used as an e.xcuse for lack of
initiative. Though there are
individual differences in the needs
for sleep man\ credit Winston
ChurchilTs wartime success to the
fact that he onh needed four
hours of sleep nightly most
often the fatigue serves the
purpose of avoidance. The trtih

successful person does not allow
himself to feel tired before the job
is complete.

Although each person is allotted
the same amount of time per day,
sixty seconds per minute, sixty
minutes per hour, there are vast
differences in how the time is
used. The key to effective time
use is to have goals, and to
predetermine your use of time in
order to meet those goals. This
involves setting priorities and
sticking to them. Obviously, this
takes a great deal of self
discipline. One recommended
method is to ask yourself. "What
is the most important thing for
me to do with my time right
now?" and then do it.

When we procrastinate, it still
takes the same amount of time to
complete the original task. If the
essay is to take me an hour, do 1
want to spend that hour sooner,
and have my mind free for other
activities, or later, and spend the
intervening time with the added
stress of it hanging over m\ head'.'
Although time can never be
bought, it is being spent at a
constant rate, so spend it on those
things that are most important,
and watch out for that
treacherous thief. H

WASTING TIME TO CONTROL TIME

IT was in fall, that cold sea-
son of depression, where I
came upon a very important
idea that would have changed
my life forever. I was assigned
a lot of homework that day, and
like always, I had an over-
whelming urge to finish it all as
soon as possible. 1 never
planned, or at least I never
needed to, as I always finished
every bit of homework assigned
that day. In short, I never pro-
crastinated. I was travelling in
my parents' car when my sister,
who was riding with me, told
me of a joke she had heard in
school. The joke was: "God put
me on the world to accomplish
a certain number of things; right
now I am so far behind, I will
never die.""

Most people's response to the
joke would have been a few
chuckles and then it would be
forgotten. However, this joke
sparked many ideas in my mind.
My first concern was obviously
for my personal well-being.
Since I worked so quickly, I
wondered if 1 would die sooner
than if I had procrastinated. If
so, I thought, I would definitely
take life much easier than I am
now. Thoughts of my many hard
days of looking in big reference
books, working for hours and,
racing against time flashed
around in my head. I especially
remembered the time I was able
to do a whole economics pro-
ject, which we were given a
week to do, in two hours. I was
left pondering about this for
quite a while until another
thought struck me. What is
time, and can it be controlled?

This was the final question I
reflected on that day, as it took
mc more than the time of the

by
ERICTSANG, Grade 12

car trip to think about it.
Thoughts of possible hints to the
answer to this problem brought
be back to the beginning of the
school year. I remembered the
question that my chemistry
teacher asked the class. He
asked us to define mass. This
was no easy question, as the
whole class was stumped. His
answer was that mass has no
physical definition, and on top
of that he added that other units
like time also fall into the cat-
egory of having no physical def-
inition. Then I thought about
what others would define time
as. Some people seem to have
all the time in the world, where-
as others are always pressed for
time. However, I have met peo-
ple in each category who are
equally as productive. Some
people are just slow workers
whereas others are fast work-
ers. I finally came up with a
personal definition of time: a
measure to which we decide
when to do what is required of
us. However, I was still baffled
about whether one can control
time, or not.

The idea of controlling time
made me think about many
popular sayings, like "I have too
much time on my hands," "I
wish I could buy more time""
and "time is of the essence." I
reflected on this subject from
an economical view point. If
time were an economical good,
what would be its price? I was
not too certain I wanted to sell
any of my excess time or wheth-
er I wanted to buy any extra
time. At that moment the car
pulled into the driveway and I
realized that I had spent half
an hour thinking about this
subject. Then yet another say-

ing popped into my head: "Time
flies when you are having fun."
From that I was able to sum up
my thoughts. There was no way
to control time. If it could be
controlled, then time would not
seem so short when we are hav-
ing fun, and so long when we
are bored. From there I thought
of yet another idea that proved
that there was no way to control
time. If time could be con-
trolled, then we would never die.
At this point I was starting to
feel very absurd. I had been
wondering about a totally no-
nexisting argument, for the past
half hour. Time could not be
controlled and the joke that my
sister heard, was meant as just
a joke and nothing more. To
make matters worse, my sister
noticed that I had been think-
ing for the past half hour and
asked me what I was thinking
about. After I told her about
my thoughts, she told me that
the joke was meant only as a
joke. She also added that a per-
son only has a certain life-span,
a certain number of breaths he
can take in his life; when he has
taken all those breaths he dies.
Her final statement was that
only idiots like myself would try
to control time. She concluded
that these fools will waste their
precious time trying to control
time, like I have just done.

I found no faults in my sis-
ter's argument and 1 look my-
defeat quietly. Nevertheless, I
still wonder how nice it would
be if we could control time.
Suddenly another thought
struck me. Although time can't
be controlled, does time control
our lives? However. I didn't
bother thinking about this and
started on mv homework.

THE GOAL

by
ALASTAIR KELLETT, Grade 9

WELL, let's face it. I wasn't ex-
actly the ideal athlete. But it
shouldn't have made much difference,
not so much difference, what 1 looked
like on the outside. After all, it's what's
on the inside that counts, isn't it? The
only problem I had was that I was too
short and too fat for my age. Despite
my appearance and what people as-
sumed of me because of my appear-
ance, I really wasn't that bad at sports.
I could run quite fast; not that anybody
had noticed or even cared. 1 was a new
kid at the school and everybody just had
to take one look at me to jump to the
conclusion that I was some sort of
cream-puff who wouldn't know a bas-
ketball if it hit him in the head. As a
matter of fact, I had practiced soccer
for many years, because it's the only
sport in which size isn't (or shouldn't
be) a factor. Anyway, at my old school
1 had been one of the best at soccer;
but I didn't know about here. I would
have to play on the under si.xteen team,
which meant that 1 (being in grade nine)
would be one of the youngest of them
all, let alone almost definitely the
smallest. Still, I was determined at least
to try out for the team, even if 1 were
the first one cut; as long as I was cut
for the right reasons.

The announcement had said 'room 7
at I o'clock,' but these people couldn't
all be trying out for the same team as
me. They were twice my si/el I was just
on my way to rccheck the number on
the door when a teacher came in and
we were all instructed to be seated.

"Hey, fellas! My name's Mr. Davis.
You guys all here for the under sixteen
soccer team?" Everyone nodded in
agreement I gulped. Already I could
feel half the eyes in the room on my
back, and could hear whispers and
snickers. Mr. Davis continued, "I'll be

your coach this season guys, and I just
called this meeting to remind you all of
the first tryout on Monday and make
sure you're all going to be there. So. if
there are no questions you guys want
to ask me you're free to go." Most peo-
ple left, but a few stayed to talk to him
privately. As for me, I wanted to get
out of there as fast as I could.

After my shocking first encounter
with my future teammates, the tryouts
actually weren't so bad. Despite their
size, I found that 1 was able to keep up
with most of the people on the field, and
could outplay a surprising number. 1
figured I would have no trouble making
the main team and, had things been dif-
ferent, I would have made the starting
lineup too. But things weren't different.
In the games that followed 1 found my-
self watching from the sidelines. I often
played less than the people on the taxi
squad. All because of my size?? 1 just
didn't understand. I remained on the
team, though, to the surprise of some
of the other members, and I never gave
up. Halfway through the season 1 was
the only player on the team that had
never missed a game or practice. The
coach soon started to like and respect
me for this, and at one practice he called
me to the side to talk to me.

"Hey, Kevin, I want to talk to you
for a minute. I want you to know that
the reason that you haven't been play-
ing too much recently has nothing to do
with your ability. It's just the size fac-
tor. You're playing at too much of a
disadvantage on the field. Do you un-
derstand'" 1 nodded dumbly and he
turned to walk back to where the rest
of the guys were.

"Was this guy serious?" 1 asked my-
self, "did he actually believe that soccer
gave any advantage to bigger players,
or was this jusl a poor excuse for his

previous actions?

Just then the voice of one of my
teammates called out to me from the
field. "Hey Kccgan! What are you do-
ing, come on!"

I ran back onto the field just as the
coach announced that it was time for a
scrimmage. As the game began, I de-
cided I would show Mr Davis who he
had jusl benched! After a few minutes
of play 1 had developed a pattern. 1
would hang back on defense and strip
their players of the ball, bringing it up
the wings and then switching it to an
incoming, unmarked forward. As well
as setting up three goals, I got a hat
trick myself. Soon 1 was being double-
marked and people were laughing at the
way 1 turned them. .'\t the end of the
scrimmage we had a shoot-out from the
penalty shot mark. Since these shoot-
outs had nothing to do with athletic
ability or size, I found that I could show
my soccer skills through them. I usually
either won them or placed in the top
three. Today was no different. 1 came
in second. When the shoot-out was over,
Mr. Davis announced the five people
that would be taking the penalty shots
if a game ever came to that in the play-
offs. 1 was one of them. After practice
when we were all sitting on the ground
putting on our regular shoes several
people congratulated me on my playing.
One guy got up and tried to demon-
strate a move that 1 had done on him.
Then the coach told me that 1 played
really well and that he was proud of
me. In that practice 1 realized that m\
image on the team had changed People
were now actually trcting me as lhc>
treated everyone else: like a regular
teammate.

In a game a week later I was standing
on the sidelines beside the coach,
watching our team pla\ one of the worst

games they ever had. After a few min-
utes I began to notice patterns in our
play, and seeing where we were making
our mistakes. As I started to explain my
insights to the coach, though at first he
didn't really care, he became steadily
more interested. At the end he was
astonished. He thought I was a genius!
At half time he rearranged the lines and
put me in at right w ing! Our team scored
a couple of goals that half, but »c still
lost the game. Afterwards Mr. Davis
thanked me a great deal and made mc
the only star of the game. It was then
that I realized the change in Mr Davis'
heart towards mc.

By the final tournament I had proven
myself to him and to the rest of the
team. He put me on for most of the first
few games, but not the finals. He still
didn't think I was good enough to play
in such an important game. With ten
minutes left, however, I got my chance.
We were leading by two points, and the
coach probably figured the game was
ours; so he put me on. Unfortunately,
the game wasn't yet ours. With two
minutes remaining, the other team
scored Still there were only two min-
utes left, so the coach didn't take me
off. However, with thirty-three seconds
left on the clock, they scored again to
tic it up The coach was so mad he
couldn't think straight and again he
overlooked the fact that he had kept mc
on all this time. Thirty-three seconds
wasn't enough time, though, for cither
team to score another goal The game
was still a tic. and would have to be
decided b> a penalty shot competition.

.Ml that I can remember now is that
I scored the third and game-winning
penalty shot. The team had won the
championship, but / had scored the win-
ning goal - and every Nxl\ knew it

DRIVER'S ED .

by
ANDREW SCACE, Grade 12

/^ k. why don't you just hop in the car
y^ and H'e 7/ go for a drive. Have you
ever driven before? Oh, that's ok, you'll be
an ace driver in no time.

Ya, ace driver in no time, my ass. Look
at this guy. He looks as if he has two left
feet and those glasses he has on — where
can I pick up a pair? They're as thick as
welder's glasses. He can't be as bad as that
last student I had. That kid almost killed
me. Thank God, at least he knows how to
turn on the car, I hate when students don't
know how to do that. Oh God! He's hor-
rible! I think I have whiplash from the start.
Yes, that was fine, you should just try
and ease your foot onto the gas peddle

when you start.

If you don't ease up I'll put your head
to the gas peddle. Maybe I was wrong. He
seems to be doing all right now. I seem to
jump to conclusions a lot — most of the
time I'm right. I guess not thi. . . OH
NOOO! WE ARE GOING DOWN A
ONE-WAY STREET THE WRONG
WAY. I'M GOING TO DIE!!!

Calmly put your foot on the brake and
pull off to the side of the road. When the
cars pass, turn around and proceed the
right way.

I knew this stupid kid was trouble when
I first laid eyes on him. What was he think-
ing? He knew what the one-way sign looked

like. Does he not have any common sense?
He probably just could not see the sign
because his glasses are too thick. Let's make
this kid sweat a little bit.

Even though you have never driven be-
j'ore. I would like you to parallel park be-
hind that car up there. Oh. you'll do fine,
go on and try.

This will be a laugh, I can't wait to see
this. I bet he thinks the "R" is for rev. Here
he goes. This is harder than I thought. He
didn't . . . oh, he couldn't have ... he did!
He hit the other car! This is not my day.
Thank the lord that this is only a half hour
lesson.

Hey! Not to worry! These things hap-
pen! At least there's no damage to the oth-
er car.

Too bad my car is ruined. I wish we lived
in a city without morons. Things would be
a lot less complicated. My job would be a
lot safer, that's for sure. At least I can go
home soon. What?

This is a two hour lesson? Wow. that's
terrific! We can work on that parking of
yours! By the end of two hours you will
be a parking wizard!^^

I IT MIGHT BE EASY FOR YOU

ALEXANDER MONIZ-BROWN, Grade 10

THE golden shaft of light danced across
the window sill like a sly cat. Debby
sat quietly in the corner of the room with
a blanket over her knees. She was aware
of her soft wheezing breath and the slow
beating in her chest. Her life was in this
room; she was this room. "Why did I be-

come this way?" she muttered in despair.
Debby glanced around the room looking for
something to do that would not tire her out.
Before, she could have played games on the
computer; now it seemed even a character
walking across the screen was too fast. No
more arcade games. They were too diffi-
cult. "I was the best at Mortal Kombat,"
she thought. But now she could barely
breathe without getting tired. At first it
had just been shorter time to play at school.
Then it was earlier to bed. But now it was
no school, and she hardly ever left the room,
and when she did it was being pushed out
in her wheelchair. "I would give anything
to back to school. I, mean, sure, school was
hard sometimes, but it was a lot more fun
than this."

Debby's mother walked into the room. She
came over to Debby and said quietly, as if
not to hurt her ears, "Are you ready to go
out, my dear?" She smiled. Debby just
nodded. So her mother walked up to the
chair and began to push delicately. When
the screen door slammed shut, she was free.
Debby stared at the garden. Last time she
had been out the garden had been dead.
But today the birds were singing, the flow-
ers were out. She longed to be able to go
and pick the flowers. But she couldn't. This
was a mockery. The flowers were laughing
at her. She tried to throw off the blanket,
but she couldn't. In despair, she just closed
her eyes and said, "Please take me in-
side!"H

ALLEGORY

by
TIM ADAMS, Grade 9

THH valley was deserted except for a
few black birds perched on the leaf-
less trees. A slight breeze swept down and
made the tall, dark-green grass shiver. The
sky was grey. The first rain drops padded
the rotting, reddish-brown shingles of Ben-
jamin's roof. Ben was an old Brick factory
that had been shut down several years ago.
He had been boarded up and bolted shut
and was falling apart. His bricks were
crumbling, his windows were broken, his
floorboards were decaying and his machin-
ery was rusting. He was a good old factory
when he was working, but when the com-
pany went bankrupt, he was forgotten.

"Bronwen, why has it been raining so
often lately?" he said as a light drizzle came
down. "It makes me even more depressed.
What I would give to be running again! To
be manufacturing more bricks than you've
ever seen. To be important again."

Bronwen was an old wrecking crane that
was used for special jobs around the brick-
works when it was working. She used to
smash the rejected bricks so they could be
discarded after their expulsion from the
factory. Other tasks of hers were to smash
out particularly stubborn pieces of clay from
the valley walls so they could be fired into
brick. She was also very lonely and longed
to be used again, probably even more so
than Ben.

"I know. I'd love to be able to smash
bricks into splinters again. But they have
no use for us anymore. We're worthless.
Oh I do wish the rain would stop indeed!"

Considering she had been sitting beside

Ben for almost two years now, Bronwen
was in pretty good shape. Aside from a bit
of rust here and there and a broken cat-
erpillar track, she was fine. Her engine still
worked, she just had no fuel. Ben was sur-
prised she hadn't been bashed into scrap
metal yet because of the war goods metal
ration that was taking place. She would
have to be careful of that, but Ben would
protect her.

Later that evening a truck arrived with
five men. The truck had a great crane at-
tached to it. Ben read the white letters
painted on the side of the monstrous ma-
chine. It read. JOHN DEERE CON-
STRUCTION EQUIPMENT. Bronwen
panicked.

"Ben, what are they doing! They're tak-
ing me away! Is this it?" Ben's mind raced.
The crane slowly swooped down over her
and clamped onto her roof. Two men came
out to help with the loading. One spoke to
Bronwen.

"Don't worry, lassie. You're going to be
all fixed up when we're through. .lust like
a new machine." He signalled to the crane
operator to hoist her up onto the trailer as
he patted Bronwen's gas tank. \ hollow
pang sound came from it.

"Did you hear that, Ben! They're gonna
fix me. They're paying attention to me!"
she cried as she was lowered onto the trail-
er. "They love me!" Bronwen was secured
to the truck and they were ready to leave.
Before they left, one ^)f the men looked up
at Ben.

"T's a piece o'work. n't it'" lie lipped

his hat and spat on the ground in front of
Ben. He clambered into the front seat. Ben
fell like crying as he watched the truck
with Bronwen wind up the hills with a roar,
off into the distance. Ben felt a mixture of
betrayal, loneliness and a tad of jealousy.
It stopped raining.

A few days later. Ben awoke to a loud
noise. He slowly opened his shutters to find
out just what was going on. A large truck
was unloading two brand ne« looking
wrecking cranes and construction workers
were swarming the place. One of the
wrecking cranes was Bronwen.

"Oh. Ben!" she cried. "Look at me! They
love me. Ben. They care about me. I feel
great!" Ben wondered what all the confu-
sion was all about when he remembered
the other evening. The harsh words of the
John Deere employee rang through his
mind. He was going to be torn do«n. His
feeling of betrayal turned to anger. The
workers didn't really care, they were just
using her to make more money.

"Do you realize what you're about to
do''! They don't care about you! Don't be
stupid. Don't do it."

"I have to obey them. I love them. Ltwk
what the\ did for me!" Bronwen showed
off her shiny new yellow body. "I'm re-
paying them for caring about me!"

"They don't care! No!" Ben cried as he
watched one y.^^ the construction workers
signal Bronwen to wind up for the first
swing. Bronwen wound up. It started to
rain. (END)

THE EVOLUTION

WAR

by
ANDREW DUDGEON, Grade 9

Along time ago, People were weak
creatures. They lived in caves and
trees or whatever else was convenient. They
were constantly prey to other greater beasts,
like the Manticore, Hippogryph and the
Chimera. Each predator had his unique
style.

The Manticore, who was composed of
the body of a lion, the wings of a dragon,
the head of a man, and the tail of a scor-
pion, would often raid the human settle-
ments and sting the People with his tail,
paralyzing them and later devouring them
at his leisure.

The Hippogryph, who was a great beast
with the hind-quarters of a horse, the torso
and arms of a lion, and the wings and head
of a hawk, would fly in circles above the
People, scaring them and chasing them
around until it had one isolated. Then it
would pounce.

The Chimera was more of a direct crea-
ture. It had the body of a goat, the tail of
a snake and three heads each resembling
those of a lion, snake and a goat. It would
rush into a camp and start eating the Peo-
ple on the spot. The People, being too weak
to do anything about it, would cower in a
hole until the beast passed.

But soon, the People learned what to do.
When a Hippogryph approached, they
would climb into a cave, too small for the
horse size creatures to enter. With a Man-
ticore, they would climb a tree, as its wings
were merely vestigial. But when a Chimera
passed, it caused the People a good deal of
grief. They couldn't fight back, as they were
peaceful berry eaters. They had no concept
of war or battle. Sometimes they would
climb trees, but they were easily knocked

down. Others would climb into caves, but
the Chimera was silent and patient. It could
stalk prey for days without making a noise,
and when a Person hid in a cave, it often
would wait outside the cave until the Per-
son either came out or starved to death,
just as a matter of principle.

One day, just on the far side of the Griev-
ance Mountain range, a tribe of People was
out picking berries when suddenly a pride
of Manticores attacked the unsuspecting
People. Many were killed as the manticores
lay about them left and right. Suddenly a
shaft of light flashed out of the sky, passing
right through a near-by manticore, killing
it instantly. It was followed by more and
more flashes of light, until the whole pride
lay dead at the People's feet. Looking up,
they spotted fifteen golden figures desend-
ing from the sky. They appeared to be Peo-
ple, but they were too tall, and they were
shinning like the sun. The People, more
terrified by this new menace than by the
familiar one, started to run. Suddenly, they
found themselves fixed in place, unable to
move as a golden field surrounded them.
The golden creatures landed, and one Per-
son was freed from the stasis-spell, his name
was Rune.

One of the golden people approached
Rune, and suddenly Rune found he was
able to communicate with this strange tall
creature. The creature introduced himself
as Garlon, one of the Golden Warriors. He
asked Rune why his people put up with
being killed by beasts'? Why did they not
even try to protect themselves?

"We cannot." Rune said, "We eat ber-
ries, and we have no teeth or claws What
are we to do?"

"I'll show you," Garlon replied. "Watch
this."

Rune watched as Garlon took a stick out
of a sheath on his back. As he brought it
closer to Rune, he could see that it was
bent slightly and had a string tied from one
end to the other. Garland took another
shorter stick out of his sheath, notched it
on the string stick, pulled back, and the

shorter stick went flying. Thunk! Right into
the trunk of a nearby tree.

Many decades later, the People were
taller. They had learned how to use weap-
ons and to fend for themselves. They were
no longer pestered and eaten by the beasts.
Arrows and swords had taken care of that.
Whenever a Hippogryph was foolish enough
to fly near a city of the People, it was soon
discouraged by a few well-placed arrows.

Rune, now an old and respected man,
looked back and reflected on how the Peo-
ple had gotten to where they were now. The
Golden Warriors had abandoned them a
few years earlier. As their population con-
tinued to grow, the People needed more
space, so they tried to take over the settle-
ment across the river from them. Their in-
tentions were good. They wanted to assim-
ilate the other People and share their great
technology with them, but the other People
did not want to join their empire and fought
back. Surprisingly enough, they had a sim-
ilar story in which the great Silver Men
had come down and taught them how to
eat meat and the other skills of death. They
fought back with similar weapons with dif-
ferent names, thus starting the War of
Grievance.

A tear ran down Rune's wrinkled cheek.
All nine of his sons and daughters had died
in the war, leaving him a lonely old man
with no one to look after him. What had
started out as a simple expansion project
had ended in tragedy. Now, the People were
fighting three new tribes of People, who
without their armor looked like those of
Rune's tribe. The weapons that the strange
creature had given them had evolved. The
bows had better accuracy, and the swords
were sharper. Using another skill they had
been taught, called Mathematics, they had
designed a device that could throw a large
boulder far across the river. They were go-
ing to call it a catapult.

"Why!" he asked himself out loud "Why
did they come? What was the point?" he
cried. "Why?"

A Fishy Tale

by
David Campbell

Grade 7

What's happening? Why can't
I see? I want to know what's
happening! Last thing I remember
was crossing a street and hearing a
constant honking!?!

I was getting something from a store
(I think?)

Hold on! I lived in ... uh? I think
. . . no, I know that I was crossing
the street. My God, I'm dead! But
I can't be!?!

First, where did I live? All I re-
member is tall buildings, muggers,
homeless people, exceedingly
wealthy people, a tall lady holding
a torch and wearing a toga and big
yellow taxi cabs. Let's see, that
would be New York.

I must have been hit by a taxi when
I was crossing a road. Somehow, I'm
coldly warm and since I'm dead, or
so I believe, I can't be a lawyer! (I
dream up the worst jokes..)

a reptile or a fish. I could be a snake,
but I was one of those in my pre-
vious life.

As I said before, I dream up the
worst jokes.

Well, 1 guess ril just have to wail
and find out what I am.

*** ♦** ***

I'm a fish! But what kind? I guess
I'll look at a brother or sister of
mine.

Let's see, it looks like I'm a salmon.

I might as well get acquainted.

"Hey, bro! I'm your brother."

"Blub"

"Have you been reincarnated also?"

"Blub"

"I see. So, you were Elvis". (I wish
my wife was here.)

"Blub. Uh, huh"

Now, if I'm coldly warm. 1 must be "^^'l' '^^'^^ 8^ downstream".

'Blub".

*** *** ***

Later that year . . .

"So, Elvis, let's see what's over
there. If it's okay with you . . .?"

"Blub".

"Uh, Elvis, we're in a fish net. A
fine mess you got us into! What do
you have to say for yourself?"

"Gasp!"

**« «*# **if

The next day . . .

"After my husband was hit and
killed by a taxi in New ^'ork, I
moved out here to Victoria: every-
thing there reminded me of him.
"This is the best salmon I've ever
tasted . . ."

THE CHURCH

by
JONATHAN LOFFT, Grade 6

FATHER JOHN MCRAE was
doing some errands around the
church, changing hymn numbers,
straightening curtains, fluffing pil-
lows, and so on. He was very nerv-
ous because of the big upcoming
service.

A new choir would be coming;
Reverend Tomlinson and Bishop
McKinley would be present, and
Chris Dawes would be playing the
organ. Despite his nerves, deep in-
side, Father McRae was quite con-
tent with his little church of St.
Paul's in Coburg.

Meanwhile, the streets of Coburg
were bustling with activity, prepar-
ing for the long weekend ahead. The
farmers' market had a wide variety
of fruits and vegetables, appealingly
displayed. Pumpkins were being sold
by the dozens. To top it off, the Ma-
sons and the Shriners were holding
a county fair.

Alex Andrews was a strange
child, obsessed with death, ever since
he could remember. His friends
thought him pretty cool, except for
Gary Bronzman and John Harold.

One day, these two caught Alex
selling cigarettes and knives to some
other students. Since Alex was only
in grade five, the school let it go,
punishing him only by giving him
lines and a detention.

As the days passed. Father
McRae's nervousness increased, and

Alex kept getting into trouble. He
seemed always to be drawing maps
of something, or could be heard
muttering to himself.

Another boy in Alex' class, Mark
Naismith was altar boy at St. Paul's.
One day, as Mark went into the class
room during the lunch hour to get
a tennis ball, he noticed one of Alex'
maps, and decided to take a look.
What he saw shocked him! It was
an exact blueprint of St. Paul's, with
all the secret doors and traps shown.
There was only one thing written on
the map, and that was the date —
November 1.

Mark decided to tell Gary and
John what he had seen. They were
not particularly surprised, and the
three of them sat down to devise a
secret plan.

Finally, November the first ar-
rived. Alex arrived at St. Paul's at
6:30 in the morning, before anyone
else had arrived. First he put on a
long black cape and a white mask,
and then went silently through the
church, preparing for his plan. He
placed a knife under the bench
cushion of the organ, and sprinkled
sting powder over the keys. Think-
ing he heard someone coming, he
ran quickly to hide behind the altar.
When the noise passed, he set to
work again. He poured poison into
the communion wine, as well as in
tea and coffee carafes downstairs.
After that he went around loosening

the steps all around the chancel, and
finally loosened the support cables
for the upper balcony, which would
undoubtedly be full. Oh yes, one fi-
nal touch, stun powder on all of the
bibles, prayer and hymn books.

At lunch, Gary and John left
school to to to St. Paul's. Mark was
to stay at the school till three, unless
they called him, in which case he
was to race to St. Paul's immedi-
ately. Mark received no phone call,
because both Gary and John were
hanging, skinned and dead in a clos-
et. When Mark got to the church,
he was surprised to find no one
around, but he went downstairs to
put on his altar boy robes. No cru-
cifer! This was very weird, and Mark
decided to go up and ask Father
McRae all about it. No one an-
swered his frantic knocking. Mark
phoned 911, but as he was hanging
up the receiver, he turned and saw
Alex coming towards him with a
cleaver. The chase was on!

Within a few minutes, police were
everywhere, and Mark caught in the
middle. Suddenly shots rang out.
Alex was running down the nave,
this time with a gun in his hand,
shooting at the police. Mark was the
first to fall. When it was all over,
everyone lay dead, the clergy, the
police, Mark and Alex. All of them
dead. It seemed that even the

WE MUST PURSUE SPACE
EXPLORATION

by
MATTHEW ODELL, Grade 5

/MAGINE, the year is 1900. Columbus
never set sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
In fact, it was decided that until all of the
problems in Europe were solved, no money
would be spent on unnecessary exploration.
The problems were never totally solved. As
time went on. because there was so little
land for so many people, the problems in-
creased. Meanwhile. 2000 miles to the
West, lay North America with all of its
natural resources and treasures still intact,
unknown to the proud but ignorant Euro-
peans.

I think wc would all agree that Queen Is-
abella would have made a big mistake by
not sending Christopher Columbus across
the Atlantic, and I feel that, if we are not
very careful, wc may be making the same
mistake if we do not continue to pursue
space exploration.

I realize that we have many problems to
deal with on earth, such as disease, hunger,
crime, war. pollution, etc. Wc definitely
need to improve on these aspects of life,
but we still need to work towards space
travel — it is our destiny.

Already ihc spin-offs of our space pro-
grams have paid off. Hospitals are often
getting ne\\ technologies from NASA.

Experience gained from developing space
suits for the astronauts has resulted in bet-
ter fire-fighting suits for fire fighters. In-
dustry has been able to use many new ma-
terials thanks to NASA's hard work. The
space program, according to the U.S. News
and World Report, has developed over
30.000 new products.

Our space program is pulling together to
make a better future for our earth but our
funding for NASA has dropped by over 8
billion dollars over the last 28 years. This
pattern cannot continue. Our future is at
slake! Just as Columbus had no idea how
much his discovery would change our pla-
net's history, we cannot fully comprehend
the benefits that await us in space. For all
we know, the cure for cancer or heart dis-
ease lies in a plant in the forest of a far
away planet. If we have international co-
operation in exploring the unknown gal-
axies of space, it could help solve our never-
ending political problems. When compared
to beings from other planets, we arc. after
all. earthlings first, and citizens of coun-
tries second. Perhaps we will even fmd ali-
en cultures who will give us a better un-
derstanding of life itself.H

THE BALL

by
MATTHEW SOHM, Grade 4

IN the schoolyard one day, while
playing catch, I saw a squirrel
run up a tree with a ball in its mouth.
After it got all the way up, it leaped
to another tree, while letting the ball
out of its mouth. The ball Hew a

long way, as if the squirrel had
caught a fly ball and was trying for
a double play. After this, a seagull
landed on it, and was moving round
and round on the ball as if he was
in the circus. After this, Oliver
leaped out from behind the bushes
and chased the seagull away. Then,
Oliver began sharpening his claws
on it, tore it open, and that was the
end of that ball.H

BY KEVIN LINT

Address delivered on Prize Day, Thursday, June
16th, 1994

Board of Governors, Mr. Lati-
mer, Honoured Guests, Staff,
fellow graduates, ladies and gentle-
men:

As we students battled our way
through the junior and senior
schools here at Royal St. George's
College, one thing always seemed
clear to us — graduation from high-
school was miles away. We sat in
those same seats, just like many of
you here this afternoon, watching
the procession while older brothers
or friends walked across the stage
and received their graduation diplo-
mas. Now it is our turn to walk
across this stage. The piece of paper
just placed in your hands, will
change our lives profoundly. We will
no longer have to face Mr. Mc-
Elroy's terrifying math classes; fight
our way out of clog-ups or tree-tor-
tures; face obnoxious teenagers in
the park; or hear about Sparky's
quote — activities — of the week-
end. But we will certainly remem-
ber Mr. Orlando's innovative teach-
ing methods of putting 'stars' and
'boxes' in the 'basement' of funda-
mental mathematical equations; or
Mr. Schreiner's somewhat comedic
relief during a double Bio-lab; or

Mr. D'Arcy's software program
which allows us to actually visualize
calculus functions. As our final year
at the school approached, it became
clear to us that this was the year to
make the difference. This year's
grads had the egos, the confidence,
and the ability to make a difference.
But it was up to each of us to de-
liver, in this our final and in many
ways most crucial year, as we began
our preparation for university.

As was forecast, the school took
a major step towards reconstructing
the house system this year. Several
great new ideas erupted with the
help of Mr. Cooper and Mr. Lee,
including house baseball, basket-
ball, debating, and even ball hockey
in the gym. Julian, Nick, Doug and
Sparky, along with several others,
did their best in collecting recruits
to fill spots on the various house
teams. These events gave everyone
a much needed escape from class,
stress and the dreaded lunch duty.
While Gord and Phil made sure that
each social event was an absolute
success, Alex and Alex, Brian and
Ernest organized numerous events
in the Junior school. Three success-
ful school athletic meets and the
banquet were organized and adver-
tised by Cam and Fraser, while Matt

headed debating and managed the
financing of the prefects — which
is not an easy task.

Important contributions were
made in many different areas by
grads who were awarded steward
ties. Special thanks to Brian, Sandy,
Ernest, Simon, Aaron, Christian,
Anik, Faizel and Colin for their
constant support of the school and
its programs throughout the year. I
wish Aaron and his team the best
of luck next year, and I hope that
they will enjoy it just as much as
we did.

Many events this year were par-
ticularly memorable. The lipsync
was a great success — Branksome
won — Crescent didn't; and no
Georgians cross-dressed (myself in-
cluded). There were prefect break-
fasts with the usual girls' schools at
the Black Rooster, and also with
Loretta College — a definite break-
through in communication. Skits —
well, skits proved to be a highlight
of this academic year — assemblies
were just not the same whenever Ju-
lian and Doug took over. We had
everything: press conferences, Cam-
bridge interviews, election previews,
a drunken Santa Claus chopping off
little Gordie's hand, and a rather
masculine Whitney Houston —

VALEDICTORY

surrounded by exotic dancers who
were definitely female. Let's face it
— the skits were great, even if they
did cross the very fine line a few
times — but who could complain?
(Looked over at JRL. Laughter.)
For those of you who couldn't quite
hear either these magnificent skits,
or Mr. Ackley rambling on in as-
sembly, the grads of 1994 have pur-
chased a microphone, amplifier and
speakers for Ketchum Hall. It is our
hope, that this will make assemblies
more enjoyable, and much shorter.
Even before Her Majesty the
Queen designated us as Royal, our
college has been evolving. A glance
through the yearbooks is enough
proof of this, and the future shape
of the school is yet to be defined.
Will the property purchase ever
close? Will the renovations change
the character of the school? Prob-
ably — and Vm confident that it
will be for the better. But no matter
how much the physical make-up of
the school may change over the
years to come, one thing is for cer-
tain the deep commitment to high
quality education will definitely not
change. It hasn't in the seven years
I've been here, and 1 know it won't
change in the future. It is the staff
and the administration which make

As we now look back over the years, we
realize the essays and tests we wrote, eu-
charists we attended, symphonies we heard,
and plays we watched all had a purpose.
We know now their true importance . . .
self-discipline and values which will re-
main.

this possible through their hard work
and perseverance. It is these indi-
viduals whom we, as graduates of
the College, wish to thank. As we
now look back over the years, we
realize the essays and tests we wrote,
Eucharists we attended, sympho-
nies we heard, and plays we
watched, all had a purpose. We now
know their true importance — not
only to educate us, but to give us a
sense of self-discipline and aware-
ness of important values which will
remain with us for the rest of our
lives. For all the special time you
placed in our education — and the
faith you placed in us — we thank
you.

Special thanks to the staffs lead-
ership. Mr. Latimer a strong and
enthusiastic role model, who meets
the diverse challenges as Head
Master with grace, good humour
and great skill at building solidar-
ity. And Mr. Pcngelly. His com-
mitment to getting the best out of
every Georgian is so clear he's

truly a great principal of the Senior
school.

But who gave us this opportunity
to study and receive a far superior
education? Who was it that stood
by us for all those years of high-
school and encouraged us to do our
best, helping us to prove to ourselves
that we can handle pressure and
challenge? It is to our parents that
we are so deeply grateful, and we
wish to thank them for providing us
with a clear and prospective future.

Over the years, pleasant memo-
ries have been etched in our minds.
Our time here at Royal St. George's
has come to an end, but 1 know we
won't be forgotten. Dave and Craig
made sure of that with their mural
in the weight room. Who could for-
get Bruce, piping in various proces-
sions; or the Magic Touqucs sere-
nading us with their somewhat me-
lodic harmony. The College set out
to teach us and to prepare us for
university our next journey —
and with the knowledge and skills
we've acquired, the friendships
we've made, and yes, in most cases,
the maturity we've achieved, we're
ready. Ready to move on -- but not
without the wonderful and deeply
ingrained sense of this College, its
staff, its students, and its values.

SENIOR VOLLEYBALL

The 1993 version of the Senior Volley-
ball team was a mix of eager veterans
and anxious rookies looking for the same
prize: the ISAA Championship. The
rookies (Chris George, Andrew von
Teichman, Matt Rubinoff, Matt Kelly,
and Jamie Frawley) were fresh off an
ISAA championship season and the
seniors (Jamie Press, Fraser Mac-
Farlane, Ernie Chan, Kid Merath, Aar-
on Thompson, Tom Keefe and Chris
Shannon) were coming off a very re-
spectable season, having squeaked their
way into the play-offs.

However, the season did not go as
planned, and our team started off at a
dismal pace of no wins and eight losses.

Mr Nakatsu, our coach, decided it
was time for a mid-season onslaught in
order to make the play-offs. Our next
game, versus Appleby, proved to be the
highlight of our '93 campaign, and we

edged them out 3-2 in a five set mar-
athon. Despite this win, our team failed
to win another game, and we finished
up the season riding a 1-15 record.

Many thanks to our coach, Mr Nak-
atsu, for sticking with us through eve-
rything, especially our losing streak; and
to Tim Pacaud (manager) (who was the
best scoreboard operator/ water boy the
school has ever seen!)

EXCERPT 1 ROM AN INTERVIEW with the
U.14 volleyball coach in Sport lUuslrawJ.
November 1993:

5./. You've had a pretty lousy season this year.

Coach: In a way. yeah But you're being a little too

hard on the team.

S.I: That was a I to 12 record, wasn't if.'

Coach: Yeah. But we had a lotta spunk and energy.

The guys was great that wayl

S.I: I heard only two showed up the first day for

practice. Sounds to me the game isn't that popular

at R.S.G.C.

Coach: Sure, it was disappointing, but it turned out

good, anyways (I gotta talk dis ungrammatical way

to sound like a real toughie coach. \'ou

unncrslandV) But. seriously. Cowper-Smith and

Teichman worked out real well and they had the

leadership and enthusiasm we needed. Word got

around about the great fun we had during practices

and on those awesome road trips We soon had

nine more guys on the team.

S.I: What's the deal for next year?

Coach: Well, we gotta lotta young guys on the

team this year Guys that I kinda hope will be back

next year.

S.I: How would you sum up the season?

Coach; Well. I'd sa> the guys learned a lot of stuff.

and they had a good time doing it.

S.I: What about a co-ed team next year''

MR KEENAN WRITES that
the Under Sixteen Hockey team
ended their season with two
wins and two ties, but that eve-
ry game was "up for grabs".
The team's success can be at-
tributed to many factors: 1) a
solid defensive core (including
steady goal-tending); 2) the ex-
perience of the centremen; 3)
the hard work and improve-
ment of the wingers; 4) the
demonstration of leadership
skills by many of the team
members (Grades 9 to 1 1); 5)
the organisation abilities of
Evan and Neil. He enjoyed the

the best for next season.

Father Hill writes: —

The Under Fourteen hockey

team had an interesting

season. Practices were full of

high enthusiasism and

spectacularly aggressive play.

But, alas, we were never able

to carry that agressiveness

into any of our games — at

least not to the extent where

we could actually win any

games.

The best effort was reserved

for the end of the season at

the I.S.A.A. tournament.

After a sound trashing in the

first game, our team went off

to play very decent hockey in

the other two. And we almost

pulled if off. We almost won

the final game. But, when we

found ourselves tied with only

three minutes to go, the shock

was too much for us and we

quickly surrendered our

chances of victory.

Yet, we had fun. All we can

say is, "Better luck next

year."

Senior basketball team. The
Knights finished the regular
season with a 9-1 record, their
onl\ loss coming at the hands
of TCS, last year's

exhibition schedule included a
very competitive tournament
in Victoria B.C.. and a
championship in the Appleby
Invitational Tournament.
Paced by a solid core of
veterans and the strongest
rookie group in years, the
Knights progressed to the
C.I.S.A.A. Tie II Finals for
the fifth time in as many
years, where they faced TCS
once again. This lime the>
came out on top. beating TCS
in one of the most exciting
games in RSGC's basketball
history. Next season the
senior team has opted to play
in the Tier I Division and
looks forward to another
challenging season. • The

This year in basketball was a re-
building season that was strengthened
by four returning players — lead by co-
captains Matt Morden and Adrian
Press, and supported by Drew Gulyas
and George Bassel. Fortunately the
'new' talent lead by Jamie Lint and
Graham Wright was enough to bring
us into the realm of underdog tourna-
ment contenders in the I.S.S.A. Our first
opponent was the mighty blue from
U.C.C. against whom we had a record
of one and 1 in the regular season. After
being down by a few points for most of
the game we put together a strong run
and came out on top by one point. In
our second game against Appleby things
fell apart and we were eliminated from
the tournament by a score of 41-35. Al-
though we did not get far in the final
tournament we had a very successful
season. We were involved in tourna-
ments at St. Michael's University School
in Victoria and at Appleby, where we
lost in the championship game by two
points. Under the guidance of Mr. Nak-
atsu, the team has solidified a solid ba-
sis for a strong team next year and pros-
pects look good for next year.

ELLIOTT HUGHES WRITES that
the Under Fourteen basketball team had
a great time this year, thanks to Mr
Orlando. "From our trip to Ottawa,
which Mr Ackley also helped with, to
our trip to the I.S.A.A., our team al-
ways seemed to have fun. Heading into
the I.S.A.A. it looked as though we were
to play Hillfield in the finals, but during
our semi-final game, both Michael Ad-
ams and I injured ourselves; but know-
ing the season was "on the line", we
played on. With two players hurt, the
rest of the team stepped up and made
sure that if we lost, we'd lose with pride.
Dan MacDonald, Adrian Kelly and
Chasen Paul, especially, showed their
leadership, spurring on all to have a
strong game. But it wasn't enough, and
we realized our season had finished. But,
hey, it's not the score that counts, it's
your attitude, and wc had a good one!

ISAA champions — against all odds!

The U.13 basketball team finished their
regular schedule supporting an impres-
sive record of eleven wins and only four
losses (not including tournament play).

Offensively, the team was lead by the
scoring touch of Darcy Morris, Josh Es-
tacion and Graham McLorie. The team
was also defensively solid with strong
efforts coming from David Gildiner and
Jeff Todd.

The highlight of the year was the
I.S.A.A. championship, held at Cres-
cent School. Going into the tournament
our boys were ranked fourth over all,
which left us a tough draw to the final.

Game 1 was against Crescent (ranked
#3) and resulted in an 18:14 victory for
us. Defense was the key to our success
in this game.

Game 2 was versus Country Day
School. The result was a 38:28 victory.
The scoring touch of Darcy Morris
proved invaluable in this game.

Next we progressed to the Divisional
play-offs.

Game 3 versus Upper Canada Col-
lege. The result' — A 44:41 victory!
Effective here was a full-court press plus
solid defense from David Gildiner and
Josh Estacion.

Game 4 was against York School
(ranked #5). We achieved a 48:47 vic-
tory. Jeff Todd's defense and Graham
McLorie's scoring led us to victory.

Our I.S.A.A. team would like,
through me, to thank the parents who
enthusiastically supported the team.

The captains, Michael Adams

and Michael Popielaty write:

— During the season, the

Under Fourteen team played

superbly. With a record of 9-

1, including victories against

UCC and Crescent (big

schools with large numbers to

draw on), we headed into the

ISAA Tournament. In the

tournament, the team was

focussed and determined to

win. We defeated Ridley

College and Holy Trinity. As

we approached the two top

teams, UCC and Crescent, in

the finals, we were still

determined to win.

Unfortunately, we lost to both

teams in close-scoring games.

Thanks once again. Coach

Hutchison, for your patience,

humour, and support. Special

thanks to Ryan Gulyas for

doing a great job as manager.

regular season and put up a valiant ef-
fort at the ISAA championships The
team was led b\ number one singles
plavcr David Lindbcrg, and the veteran
doubles team of Chnstiaan Filler and
Richard Rayfield. There was also a
strong contingent of younger players like
Malcolm Wilkinson. Jason Panlalone.

Mr Kccnan writes, of both teams.

that each had a wide range of talents

and an ample number of participants.

There was significant improvement in

terms of tennis ability and

conditioning (all players had to run

the I.I mile including the steps of

Casa Loma.) There was fierce

competition for the seven spots that

would form the team at the season

finale. Both teams fared well at their

ISAA tournament Here the L I5's

lost two tie breakers and were ousted

in a "heartbreaker".

HALLOWE'EN

Hallowe'en is celebrated every year,
mostly by the Junior School. Ir
1993. we had a ghost story com-
petition (above are candidates ready
to tell their stories), pumpkin carv-
ing, and costume competitions. It
makes for an interesting day.

STRATFORD

You gel to sit through Shakespeare
in modern dress (yuk). and later,
snaffle down, in a horrcndously
crowded fast-food place, the usual
fare. You get home late. But, "It
beats working".

P.C. COYLE AND "NERO"
This lovely dog and his handler, P.C.
Coyle, came to the Junior School in
November. We saw, in a video pres-
entation, how dogs like Nero ap-
prehend criminals. A heart-warm-
ing treat visit.

SIR EDMUND HILLARY

The conqueror of Everest visited the School on Remembrance Day. In his

address, he called us to note that team work is greater than the sum of individual

efforts.

'GRUBS DAY'

Usually there are a couple of grub
days every year. For those who
mightn't know, this means the stu-
dents, normally well-groomed and
dressed like gentlemen (hah!), come
in their everyday, "grubby" clothes.

130

ANNUAL CAROL SERVICE

This takes place about the 1 Sih of
December. The venue is St James's
Cathedral Dr Bryant, as always, is
witty and amusing in his harangu-
ing of the "nipperage". Teachers

rehearsal) show.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB

The "club" is a little treat for those
students, and their mothers and fa-
thers, who have done well, or sig-
nificantly raised their average, in
first examinations. An early morn-
ing breakfast is cooked by Mr Pen-
gelly and other staff and served in

They're a rock group that likes to practise and play together. Something a

SNOW-SCULPTING

Yes 10 more school holidays

The old world archlteclure has its charm

1 here are lots of things 1 would love
lo tell you about Quebec.

Like the time when Mike Vitorov-
itch. Wade Fox. and I were walking
back from the Museum of Civiliza-
tion. We walked by a darkened win-
dow of a shop in an area Mike de-
scribed at the time as. "the wrong end
of town". This darkened window didn't
concern us at the time, as we were
anxious to get out of the pouring rain.
However, when we returned the fol-
lowing day. passing the store and sev-
eral others, we saw what it really was
(and what a surprise)!

Or the time when i totally mis-
heard the regroup lime outside of the
National .Nssembh where it was giv-
en, and turned up abiiut thirty min-
utes late at Batters Park.

Or the arcade, or the drunk guy
sitting on lop of the walls of Old Que-
bec who amused us for a while on our
walking lour on the first day . Or about
a lot of other things that should and
will remain unsaid

Whatever you want to know about
the Quebec trip (cxpccialK aboul
.•\sad who made us wail an hour and
then arrived before us on a train!) be
sure 10 ask soon before anyone in-
volved tells you their side (like you're
really going lo believe them).

See you in Bolton!

(Bel you're wondering what I did.
huh? Well, that's for me lo know and
you to find out!)

BOLTON (Gr ll's)

GRADE 11 TRIP TO CEDAR
GLEN

"That was the hardest thing I've
ever done in my life" boasted
Naohide Nasu as he squirmed off
his bike. The trip from mid-town
Toronto to Cedar Glen covered
50km and took 3 hours. 18 students
led by Father Hill were brave
enough to forego the comfort of the
yellow school bus and, instead, to
bicycle. Treat stops were a carefully
planned feature of the route;
McDonald's at Finch Avenue, a
plaza at Langstaff Road, a
convenience store in Nobleton all
provided suitable sustenance . . .
especially when the Headmaster
arrived at the last stop (by car)
with an ample supply of Smarties.
Surprisingly those who spent the
night at Larren Stoyka's 'sleepover'
found that the lack of sleep did not
have an effect on their vitality. In
rather amazing fashion, everyone
made the trip with no problems —
mechanical or otherwise. For the
trip home, however, a few decided
enough was enough! For ten dollars,
Tony Bose rode Adrian Press' bike
back to Toronto, and Mr. Keenan
paid a willing student fifty bucks
for the privilege of returning home
by bike!

When everyone arrived at Cedar
Glen, it took just a short time to get
settled in the assigned rooms — and
investigate the facilities. Peter
McCague exclaimed "great place"
while Dan Kircher pondered the
situation and wished he were back
in Toronto with META
Tim Sjogren and Dan Mudd tied

the rope of friendship around one
another, just to make sure they
wouldn't get lost or confused.
Teams were formed — EARTH,
RAIN, FIRE and WATER, and
throughout the week, a variety of
challenges, games, and initiative
tasks provided the opportunity for
competition and friendly rivalry.
Two guest speakers visited the
centre. Rob Chisnall (knot man)
provided significant leadership in
the challenges, while Jay Haddad
led discussions and interesting
insights into Cults and
Homophobia. In addition, the staff
led sessions on group dynamics,
leadership skills and communication
awareness.

The RSGC Olympics occupied the
last afternoon, with Jason Pantalone
winning the Cross Country Run,
and Bryce Carter being the victor in
the mountain bike race. The
winning house — YORK. Pacaud,
Frawley and George continued to
value certain possessions of each
other! The best prank — Dewees
and Wilkinson discovering how to
replace Mr. Van Herk's toothpaste
with shaving cream. Mr. Keenan
however, took great pride in putting
a cup of water over the door of the
Headmaster's bathroom, unscrewing
the light bulb and covering the
toilet seat with unnoticed Saran
wrap!!

The highlight of the trip? 39 young
men who worked and played
together, and became much better
friends, getting to know those whom
they hardly knew before. A great
beginning for their year together in
Grade 12.

In Memory of

Mr Lloyd Bradshaw

February 21, 1929
• April 1, 1994

Lloyd Bradshaw

John Lloyd Bradshaw was born Feb-
ruary 21, 1929 in St. Mary's, Ontario.
Following early music studies in Stratford
and London, he became a church organist
in St. Mary's at the age of fifteen. He re-
mained at the organ bench for the next fifty
years.

In 1948, Lloyd graduated from Strat-
ford Teachers' College, and he taught until
1963 in rural Ontario, Stratford and To-
ronto schools. During these years, he con-
tinued his musical studies, and was an ed-
itor of school and church music and aca-
demic materials. From 1963 to 1968, he
was the supervisor of music and assistant
co-ordinator of music education for North
York schools. He was appointed special
lecturer in choral music at the University
of Toronto's Faculty of Music in 1968.

As a choral conductor, Lloyd had a most
profound impact on others, particularly the
young people he introduced to the appre-
ciation and performance of sacred and sec-

ular choral music. While serving as organ-
ist at High Park United Church, he was
first a member, and then acting music di-
rector of the Festival Singers of Toronto.
As organist and choirmaster at St. George's
United Church from 1960 until 1970, he
developed several choirs which were con-
tinuously recognized for their excellence.
These included junior and boys' choirs, and
the St. George's Youth Choir which toured
England in 1964, Canada in 1967, and Eu-
rope in 1970. He was also the founding
director of the North York Youth Choir.

Over the next two decades, Lloyd con-
ducted the University of Toronto Chorus
(later Hart House Chorus), was chorus-
master for the opera department, and con-
currently for the Canadian Opera Chorus.
He was founding conductor of the Cana-
dian Children's Opera Chorus, and he led
the Toronto Symphony Chorus in associ-
ation with Maestro Seiji Ozawa. He had
long associations with the CBC and CTV
networks. He was the founder of the To-
ronto Youth Choir, and the Sound Com-

pany, and from 1975 to 1980, director of
the Orpheus Choir. From the mid-seventies
to the present, he was organist and choir-
master at, successively. Trinity United
Church, St. Anne's Anglican Church, and
St. Luke's United Church (Islington). He
was music director of the St. Anne's Music
and Drama Society for twelve years.

Lloyd Bradshaw's remarkable choral
conducting skills, and his capacity to instill
in his choristers and students the love of
music, the pursuit of excellence, and the
thrill of performance, is his legacy to
thousands in Canada, and many now in
distant lands. His contribution to the spir-
itual and cultural life of the country, both
directly and through those he inspired, has
been enormous. We observe his passing with
great sadness, and celebrate his life and
faith with great joy.

In his memory, a prize will be awarded
to a graduating choral conducting student
at the University of Toronto.

Mrs Dawn Hardie

The school mourns the passing of
Dawn Hardie. mother, wife and
strong supporter of Royal St. George's.

Her tragic accident has taken from us
a very dynamic, vital woman whose
commitment to her son's and daugh-
ter's schools will be sadly missed.

Dawn was active in so many activities

of the Guild — Poinsettia sales, tour
guide, hostess at social functions, and
especially. President of the Guild. Her
enthusiasm, initiative and organization-
al skills were of great benefit to RSGC
over her many years of involvement.

We share the grief of her children and
husband.
